happiness

"He tapped my chest. 'Happy is here.' He tapped his own chest. 'Here.'I looked down past my chin. 'Inside?''Inside.'It was getting crowded in there. First angel. Now happy. It seemed there was more to me than cabbage and turnips."

"Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance."

"To be happy, you have to risk being unhappy."

"The negation of severe suffering was the nearest approach to happiness I expected to know. Besides, I seemed to hold two lives - the life of thought, and that of reality."

"The future is now. It's time to grow up and be strong. Tomorrow may well be too late."

"Share your love, share you happiness, care for others; your wealth will be endless."

"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate."

"But I am king. And the well-being of my kingdom depends on my sound judgment and clear head. And those things depend on my state of happiness. And I have known for a long time that my state of happiness depends on you."

"I don’t know what’s worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you’ve always wanted to be, and feel alone."

"A woman's happiness is in throwing everything away to live for love."

"That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep."

"These fucking women really piss me off,' April said. 'Because instead of being elated by the thought of making their own happiness and chasing some crazy dream, all they want to do is narrow their options and do something safe."

"Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within"

"Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible."

"You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with."

"We never realize just how many other lives we can help when their paths cross our own."

"But the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to."

"Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people. There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness."

"Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success."

"I do want more. I am not content with being happy. I was not made for it. It is not my destiny. My destiny is the opposite."
